Getting Exciting.

ST.. LOUIS, March Ex-Governor Marina
duke to-day signed bill passed at the re
cent session of the legislature which repeall
the law Of 1857 that permitted wine and beel
to be sold in st. Louis on Sunday. This
brings st. Louis under the action of which il
known as the Downing law, which embraces
all the provisions of strict Sunday law,
and not only closes all saloons and
beer gardens, but if rigidly en-
forced will stop the running of street
railroads, the publication of newspaper, all
manual labor and all kinds of traffic. As a
results there is CONSERVATION among the
saleonkeepers. and an uneasy feeling on the
part Of all persons and interests affected.
The saloon men will probably resist the law,
and there is likely to be some kind of Q
public demonstration against it.

Mclaughlin Wants to Meet ANYBODY
Now for the Championship

Less than 500 people witnessed the collar
and-elboW wrestling match between Col. J.
ID. Mclaughlin and j. j. Benjamin, of
New York, for the championship of the
world, at the Washington rink. Minneapo-
lis. last evening. Benjamin being an un-
known, probably accounts for the lack of
interest in the match, as it seemed to be a
forgone conclusion in the public mind that
Mclaughlin would win. This estimate of
Benjamin's ability was not incorrect, as he
seemed almost novice at wrestling
and his timerity in tackling Mclaughlin is
to be wondered at. Owing to the bursting
OF steampipes the rink was not heated, and
the crowd OF spectators who had paid gilt
edged prices to witness the match shivered
about the stage until the men appeared at
o'clock. AS the big conductor appeared
ne was heartily cheered, and Benjamin got
faint greeting as he climbed over the
ropes. When the overcoats were removed
the disparity between the men was strik-
ing-Benjamin. six feet tall, spare
of flesh, with legs and arms

by McLaughlin's sturdy proportions. Ben
